I have been enjoying my wild ride of a life for some seventy-one plus years now, and I still am able to look at the world and its people with the same wonder I had as a child. I wonder how we have made it so long without annihilating each other or making this planetContinue reading “Press the Bet”

A Puncher’s Chance
I saw a clip of Queen Maxima (now THAT is a badass Queen’s name!) of Netherlands doing her best Donald Trump impersonation and what was hilarious is that she does a better DJT than he does. Being a former French chef, I find the topic of celebrity chefs to be a totally American contrivance, fueledContinue reading “A Puncher’s Chance”
Hello Again
My money is on California to be the next state to flip from Democratic to Republican if the antics of their beleaguered governor Gavin Newsome give any indication. Nothing surprises me in our political arena anymore. Take that dumbass New York governor Kathy Hochul whose dumbass solution to a low staffing problem caused by herContinue reading “Hello Again”
Funny/Not Funny
Don’t look now, but Eli Lily, one of the charter members of Big Pharma, is going to be lowering the cost of insulin by 70%. No why would these money-grubbing opportunists do a thing like that? Government pressure. That’s funny. That’s all it took? How many people died because those greedy bastards kept their pricesContinue reading “Funny/Not Funny”
Selling Life
By now, the secret’s out. T-cells. It appears to be the single greatest medical discovery in decades, and I just saw the story that made its way to Sunday Morning on CBS. What really stood out to me in the story was the parents’ fierce determination to try anything and everything possible to save theirContinue reading “Selling Life”
Playing the Lottery
The Mega Millions lottery payout is now at 1 billion dollars. Those are my kind of numbers, so I might buy a couple tickets for the next drawing. The prospect of getting so much money brings out the best of my altruistic side. Since we are dreaming, I can say what I would do withContinue reading “Playing the Lottery”
The Cardiologist
I went to him today and I like him. He is a no-bullshit, here’s the situation, here’s what we’re gonna do about it type of guy. I have seven stents keeping the blood flowing in my chest and one stent in my left carotid artery. He was amazed that I haven’t been on a bloodContinue reading “The Cardiologist”
Can You Imagine?
Cassandra Prince was a nervous wreck on her first day on the job. The new Yale whiz-kid that landed the lucrative position as law clerk for Justice Jodi Foster, had the weight of a whole lot of people on her back. As her Mom had always stressed “It’s never enough. Give more. And whenContinue reading “Can You Imagine?”
I Did it Again
Once again, my mad computer skills. Not only did I not post my 403rd blog yesterday, I somehow deleted it entirely from my computer. So here’s a few observations: Enough with commercials showing people loading up ten pounds of food on a plate made of pressed paper, only to see the food spill all overContinue reading “I Did it Again”
Inefficiency
I can’t stand it. The idea invokes failure. Who are the idiot architects in the grocery store game who are responsible for planning out the best (most efficient) place to put in the restrooms and pharmacies? “Put them farthest away so injured and sick people have to limp their infirmed bodies all the way toContinue reading “Inefficiency”
